Farm Gate Business Tycoon

Chapter 72
Gu Liu said hesitantly, "Then what do you mean..."

"In my opinion, if we simply go to the door to propose marriage, we have to give the girl a face."

Gu Liu said: "Actually, I also mean the same thing. When asking for relatives, it is the man begging the woman. How can the woman beg the man? He has such a family background. The last time Brother Yang saved him, he came in person When I was thanking you, I saw that girl, she looked like a water spirit. Although we are from such a family background, that girl didn't look down on me at all, instead she took me by mouth and aunt. I really like that girl in my heart .To be honest, it’s not a little bit better than the old family and the old three. I don’t have the slightest arrogance. I’m thinking about it now, that’s what he had in mind at the time, and his wife kept saying in front of me that this The girl is already fifteen, and she doesn't have a husband's family yet, but how dare I accept such words."

Gu Sun said: "Since that's the case, you should quickly invite Yunzhi's daughter-in-law over and ask her to propose marriage immediately, but don't wait until the other party comes, otherwise, let people know, and say that the girl is rushing to get married. , the girl will be wronged again in the future."

Gu Liushi couldn't sit still anymore, got up and said: "Since you said so, I will go to Yun Zhi's wife now, and ask her to go there in the afternoon."

Gu Sun got up to see her off, "Then I won't keep you!"

Mrs. Gu Liu left her uncle's house and didn't go home. Instead, she went directly to the matchmaker's house in the village, which specializes in helping matchmakers.

She came to Gu Yunzhi's house and told the matter to Gu Yunzhi's family, and Gu Yunzhi's family laughed at that time, "I said, second sister-in-law, it's broad daylight, why are you daydreaming? What about Yangwei Escort?" Relatives of the royal family, no matter how talented your Yang brother is, he is only a commoner scholar, why did he have such a big idea to marry someone else's girl?"

Gu Liu said unhappily: "Yunzhi's family, if you are not willing to earn this matchmaker gift, I will find someone else, and let me tell you the truth, our two families have communicated with each other about this matter." gone."

Hearing what she said, Gu Yunzhi's family became serious, "Are you serious?"

"What did I lie to you for? Two years ago, the wife and young lady of the Yangwei Escort came to give gifts to my family. You know that, and I'm not afraid to tell you that his wife has long been interested in our brother Yang's future, but at that time Brother Yang I'm still young, so I didn't mention it."

Gu Yunzhi's family thought about it, "Well, it's just a matter of running around."

Only then did Gu Liu smiled and said: "That's a hard work for you!"

Back home, when Gu Liu saw his third daughter-in-law there, he didn't say anything.

Fang Meiyao was preparing to cook lunch at home, and she was a little unhappy when Gu Shaotong called her, but when she saw the clothes material that Gu Qingmei bought, she immediately cast her unhappiness out of her mind.

Gu Qingmei brought her a few pieces of clothing material and three silver locks, and said with a smile: "When you go to the city, you can't go empty-handed. You don't buy anything, so you just bought a few pieces of fashionable clothing material for the third sister-in-law, and gave it to the children. One of them bought a silver lock piece and some snacks for Shaoyan and the others."

Fang Meiyao immediately said a lot of sweet words, then left with her things in her arms.

Gu Liushi told Gu Qingmei about this.

Gu Qingmei didn't expect her mother's mobility to be so amazing, it took only a while, even the matchmaker was invited, she couldn't help laughing and said: "Mother, I didn't expect that, you are still a quick temper."

Gu Liu smiled shyly and said: "I was thinking, your aunt's words are reasonable, the girl is willing to live a hard life with your fourth brother, we can't let him propose a marriage, if you tell it, the girl will lose face in the future."

Gu Qingmei suddenly saw that Gu Liushi's right wrist was empty, and asked instinctively: "Mother, didn't I give you a pair of bracelets? Where is that one?"

Gu Liushi sighed helplessly, and said about the bracelet.

Gu Qingmei only felt that her grandmother was too much, but with her status as a grandmother and her age, she couldn't say anything, otherwise, if she shouted, people in the village would think she was disobedient.

"Mother, do you know how much an acre of land is now?" Now that Mother has made up her mind to propose marriage, Gu Qingmei feels that it is time to plan for the future.

In the past, she just wanted to save a sum of money, and then go to the capital to open a jewelry shop, find two skilled silversmiths, draw up the designs by herself, and slowly start her career.Unexpectedly, it was a blessing from heaven that he would marry the fourth concubine, and the marriage of the fourth brother would also be settled.

She knows that the fourth brother loves her the most, and naturally she will not be stingy with those who treat her well, so she wants to delay the opening of the jewelry shop for a while, and plans to build a wedding house for the fourth brother first , and buy some property for the fourth brother.

By the way, let's test Huo Jinhua again to see how his skills are?
Gu Liu said: "Speaking of which, the land is not very expensive, and it is only five or six cents an acre!"

Gu Qingmei couldn't help but stare, "So cheap?"

"How can it be cheap?" Gu Liushi sighed. "If you have to pay land tax every year, you have to pay three renminbi a year for an acre of land. Unless there is a juren in the family, you have to put the land in the name of the juren to be exempt from the land tax."

"Oh..." Only then did Gu Qingmei understand that this land can't be bought casually, it's like property management fees, if you can afford a house, you may not be able to afford the fees.

"Besides, the land around here is owned by the owner. If you want to buy it, you can't buy it. You can only go far away, so you have to move. But your father is a root lover. When my family was rich, I also wanted to buy it. I thought about buying land and moving, but your father just refused."

Gu Qingmei said: "Even if Dad doesn't want to move away, he bought land elsewhere and rented it out to others to plant, wouldn't it be okay to collect the rent every year?"

"But buying a land of ten mu or eight mu, the few rents I collected are barely enough to cover the travel expenses of the rent. Your father loves his family and is unwilling to travel far away."

After hearing this, Gu Qingmei knew that it was impossible to count on her father, so she asked again: "How did you buy the land for building the house?"

Gu Liu said: "For the land to build a house, you have to go to the head of the clan, and then the head of the clan will come forward and tell the manager of Murong Villa that the land is leased to us, and we have to pay the rent every year. One mu of land costs a year. Pay one or two taels of rent. Our family owns five cents of land, five hundred dollars a year. Around our village, there are a total of [-] mu of fertile land, all of which belong to Murong Villa, and even our family rents land from Murong Villa Our Gu family is almost all tenants of the Murong family."

"Murong Villa?" Gu Qingmei instinctively thought of Murong Yu, but she didn't want to ask him for this matter.

"Isn't it Murong Villa? Murong Villa also gave birth to a concubine. I heard that this Murong concubine gave birth to a son for the emperor. She is favored by the emperor."
